lar meeting determined to enter upon a
special evangelistic campaign and secure
a faithful and capable minister with
* .gifts suitable that he might be able to
go into any and all of our churches and
conduct a special meeting. The arrangements
were left mainly to the- chairman
and Secretary of the Home Mission Committee.
They have been very fortunate
in their efforts to secure such a man and
have made arrangements with the Home
Mission Committee of Arkansas Presby
tery to secure one, half the time of their
evangelist, Dr. W. H. Richardson, for
one year, beginning November 1, 1909,
He will give November and December to
the Presbytery of Arkansas and January
and February to Ouachita, conducting
two meetings a month, and will then return
to Arkansas Presbytery and will so
alternate for two months with each Presbytery
till end of the year, October 31.

to increase the endowment of Agnes

will make that well-known institution for

Darien: A very pleasant and, to the
Presbyterian church of Darien, very im

Wednesday evening last, at which time
the installation of the pastor-elect, Rev.
W. S. Milne, took place. The Rev. Mr.
Patterson, of Blackshear, and Rev. Mr.
Thomas and Mr. Wright, of Bruns
wick, were appointed by Presbytery to
officiate. Owing to sickness in his family,
Mr Thomas was not present, but Mr.
Patterson, as chairman of the commission,
did all the work. There was a good
crowd present. The fact that Mr. Miline

Elberton: This church, which recently
entered its splendid new building, has
just passed through a gracious season
of refreshing, in a series of meetings
conducted by Rev. George F. Robertson,
of Charlotte, N. C. Seventeen new members
have been added to the roll since
the meeting closed, and the church was
much helped and strengthened in wisdom,
in grace, and in influence in the
community. Mr. Robertson easily ranks
as one of the foremost evangelists of
our Church, in Dreaching power and in
personal work, preaching the plain, simple
truths of the Scripture with wonderful
force and effect. But his friends are

strong pastorate, as they fear the constant
strain on his throat in the evangel
istlc work may increase an annoying
trouble there, while the pastorate work
would not subject him to that risk. Having
received such a blessing themselves,
this church is now gladly lending its
pastor, Rev. C. I. Stacy, to the Presbyterians
of Macon, for a ten days' Bible
Institute, to be conducted by him in the
Vineville Church, of that city, where he
was for many years general secretary of
the Young Mens' Christian Association.

Rev. W. A. Nisbet, D. D., of Savannah
a former paster of this church and greatly
beloved in the community, did the
preaching. His sermons were clear, simple
and forceful presentations of the
teachings of God's Word, emphasizing
the doctrines that are fundamental?the
awful nature of sin?the wonderful love
of God, salvation through the atoning
mums 01 a uivme saviour, repentance towards
God, faith In the Lord Jesus
Christ, and the necessity and Importance
of good works. The harvest, under the
workings of the blessed Holy Spirit was
a rich one, but, I am persuaded, not all
yet gathered. To God be all the glory.
